PULL down the attic steps and start dusting off your old VHS cassettes, because if you have old Disney tapes from the 90’s – there’s a chance they could be worth a fortune.
The Disney tapes that are worth serious cash are Black Diamond VHS classics, which were Disney’s first attempt to sell directly to the home market.

These tapes are easy to identify by the black diamond found on the spine of the case, with Walt Disney’s signature scrawled inside.
Most tapes from the 90’s have been opened and played numerous times, and although they are still worth hundreds of pounds – it’s the unopened, still in the wrapper tapes that command thousands of pounds to collectors.

Beauty and The Beast

It’s a tale as old as time… you cherish your old VHS tape, until you realise it’s worth thousands so flog it to the highest bidder. This Beauty and The Beast VHS recently sold at eBay for a whopping £3,941.97

This tape is particularly expensive as it still has the tape covering it and has never been opened.
